The
best way to decide if a university is right for you is to visit the
campus. Check the universities' website to see if when they are holding
an Open House or Fall Preview Day. You should also be able to book a
campus tour.

Since
not all event information was available at the time of the production of the handout below, remember to check the universities’ websites for more information
about Preview Days, Open Houses and Campus Tours.You can also check http://www.electronicinfo.ca/
for a list of Campus Visits & Events, as well as a lot of other valuable
information!

To help with your research for your post-secondary plans, you can use the Transition Resource Guide that you will find at this website.​

College and university rep visits to O.S.S.

Grade
12 students who are considering college or university next year may be
interested to hear presentations by college and university reps who will
discuss things like: campus life, scholarships, programs, residence,
etc. Look through the calendar and, if you are interested in attending
any presentations, sign up in Guidance. You will notice that some
visits have been scheduled over the lunch-hour. Usually the
representative will set up a display in the front forum area and you
will be able to ask questions and/or pick up a viewbook at that time.

* UIP, University Information Program on Thursday, October 19th, from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.
